3. Re: XEON processor and more...?
Bill Gehrke Feb 18, 2014 4:27 PM (in response to Musti_HW)In the era of CS5.5 a single Xeon processor was no where as good as a single desktop processor. Nowdays Xeons with up to 12 cores are available and the situation has changed but at very considerable cost. Take a look at our PPBM5 test results and filter on CS5.5. Then look down the list of best performers and on the first page you will see that single i7 processors do better than dual Xeon's, and you are talking about a single older model Xeon. I would not suggest that.

Musti_HW Feb 18, 2014 5:51 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)Hi Bill,
please consider that I will upgrade to CS6.
What do you think about te following DELL system?
Dell Precission T5610 (Workstation)

Bill Gehrke Feb 18, 2014 7:20 PM (in response to Musti_HW)I am not sure where you are but why are you so sold on a single CPU Xeon system? You really could get the same processing power with a single i7 CPU with only slight overclocking. The only real advantage of the Xeons is having more than one processor. Well I am off to bed here.

UlfLaursen Feb 18, 2014 9:07 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)As far as I can see, teh 5610 only supports 2 internal 3.5" harddrives, which is far to little in my oppinion. The 7600 has far more internal options, but then price also goes up.

cc_merchant Feb 19, 2014 1:48 AM (in response to Musti_HW)See Planning a NLE System and Tweakers Page and all the articles there. The Dell you linked to, appears very costly and underperforming in the disk and video department. It has no room for expansion.

ECBowen Feb 19, 2014 7:13 AM (in response to John T Smith)The Xeon 2650's would not be ideal for Premiere. The Clockspeed is to low for 8 Core. I would suggest a 6 Core at higher clock or a single 10 or 12 Core on an X79 or equivalent. I personally run a E5 2697V2 12 Core on an X79 board at home so I do have personal experience with this besides at work. You need to configure enough ram for the amount of threads you will have. 32 GB of ram is not enough for 2x 8 Core Xeons. You want 64GB of ram for that. If you run a single Xeon then 32GB of ram would be enough up to a 10 Core CPU though ideally you want 64GB. The Quadro K5000 is a waste unless you have a 10bit color workflow and monitoring solution. I suggest a 780Ti there. GPu acceleration via Virtualization is still only a Linux environment option and I am not sure of anyone besides Nvidia that has developed this. Dont plan on that capability.

Musti_HW Feb 24, 2014 3:23 AM (in response to ECBowen)Hi all,
thank for your comments.
The problem is according to my experiences not mainly CPU or memory with PremierePro projects, but I/O problem. I analyzed the performance problem on my i7 PC. I have problem during the PremierePro processes (for example rendering or exporting) because of bad I/O values. The OS hard disk have 7.400 rpms and a SATA hd, and PremierePro projects data are stored on a RAID 1 volume (SATA) . For the cache and preview files I use a separate SATA harddisk.
I understood so (I hope correctly) that you suggest NOT a single Xeon processor PC, but you mean it is better a i7 processor for PremierePro?

Musti_HW Feb 24, 2014 3:39 AM (in response to Musti_HW)Hi!
Has anybody experience with IBM workstations or servers?
I have now the possibility to get these hardware inexpensive.
Any suggestion about IBM?

cc_merchant Feb 24, 2014 5:28 AM (in response to Musti_HW)The only interesting stuff IBM still has is comparable to this:
Inexpensive?? Not really, unless you are in a vastly different league than I am.
Xeon E5-26xx v2 CPU's are only attractive in dual configurations, anything older is a waste of money.
AFAIK IBM does not have any workstations that are up-to-date or inexpensive. Even the IBM 5100 is way too expensive, even for the APL-ophile. I don't figure you as a cluster guy. So forget about IBM.

ECBowen Feb 24, 2014 8:00 AM (in response to cc_merchant)Acutally my E5 2697 V2 is running really well on an X79. The performance is great for Red and AE. That is with a 770GTX 4GB card. Makes a cheaper solution for Red than a Dual Xeon yet still gives the processing for 1/2 resolution in Premiere.

13. Re: XEON processor and more...?
cc_merchant Feb 24, 2014 8:11 AM (in response to ECBowen)But at around 4 - 5 times the price of a 4930K, which is easily overclocked to around 4.5 GHz, does it perform 4 - 5 times faster? I doubt that. Maybe even 2 times is optimistic.

14. Re: XEON processor and more...?
ECBowen Feb 24, 2014 8:11 AM (in response to cc_merchant)The 2697 V2 gives better performance than the 6 Core at 4.5GHz mainly for Realtime playback with Red and AE ram preview. It doesn't need to be 4 times better if it gives a significant boost in processing ceiling for Realtime playback and it's still significantly cheaper than a Dual.

You prefer paying quadruple the price for only twice the performance? Not attractive, it looks, unless one has unlimited funds. But then one would go for a dual configuration or even a quad CPU, based on the E7-4890v2, wouldn't they?
